In Bayesian inverse problems, the posterior distribution is used to quantify uncertainty about the reconstructed solution. In practice, Markov chain Monte Carlo algorithms often are used to draw samples from the posterior distribution.…

In this paper, we apply a new kind of smoothness concept, i.e. H\"older stability estimates for the determination of convergence rates of Tikhonov regularization for linear and non-linear inverse problems in Hilbert spaces. For linear…

Often in the analysis of first-order methods, assuming the existence of a quadratic growth bound (a generalization of strong convexity) facilitates much stronger convergence analysis. Hence the analysis is done twice, once for the general…

Convergence rates results for variational regularization methods typically assume the regularization functional to be convex. While this assumption is natural for scalar-valued functions, it can be unnecessarily strong for vector-valued…

We introduce non-stationary Mat\'ern field priors with stochastic partial differential equations, and construct correlation length-scaling with hyperpriors. We model both the hyperprior and the Mat\'ern prior as continuous-parameter random…

Formulating a statistical inverse problem as one of inference in a Bayesian model has great appeal, notably for what this brings in terms of coherence, the interpretability of regularisation penalties, the integration of all uncertainties,…

This is a survey, which is a continuation of the previous survey of the author about applications of Carleman estimates to Inverse Problems, J. Inverse and Ill-Posed Problems, 21, 477-560, 2013. It is shown here that Tikhonov functionals…

The Bayesian approach to solving inverse problems relies on the choice of a prior. This critical ingredient allows the formulation of expert knowledge or physical constraints in a probabilistic fashion and plays an important role for the…

In this paper we consider ill-posed inverse problems, both linear and nonlinear, by a heavy ball method in which a strongly convex regularization function is incorporated to detect the feature of the sought solution. We develop ideas on how…

Bayesian approach to inverse problems is studied in the case where the forward map is a linear hypoelliptic pseudodifferential operator and measurement error is additive white Gaussian noise. The measurement model for an unknown Gaussian…

Inverse problems are often ill-posed, with solutions that depend sensitively on data. In any numerical approach to the solution of such problems, regularization of some form is needed to counteract the resulting instability. This paper is…

In Bayesian analysis, reference priors are widely recognized for their objective nature. Yet, they often lead to intractable and improper priors, which complicates their application. Besides, informed prior elicitation methods are penalized…

The contributions of this paper are twofold: we define and investigate the properties of a short rate model driven by a general Gaussian Volterra process and, after defining precisely a notion of convexity adjustment, derive explicit…

We develop a framework to study posterior contraction rates in sparse high dimensional generalized linear models (GLM). We introduce a new family of GLMs, denoted by clipped GLM, which subsumes many standard GLMs and makes minor…

Successive quadratic approximations, or second-order proximal methods, are useful for minimizing functions that are a sum of a smooth part and a convex, possibly nonsmooth part that promotes regularization. Most analyses of iteration…
